New-build and refit yards pay out cable on reels that are cut loose at handover, a one-way habit PPWR’s reuse expectations now question directly.
The yard handover habit
Yards treat cable reels as job waste, not returnable assets. The disposal repeats on every vessel.
Pain: repeated disposal
Each build generates reel scrap with no recovery. PPWR’s reuse metric multiplies that across a yard’s annual output.

Rulowin marine reels
Our reusable PP reels survive yard conditions and return between builds, replacing one-way disposal with a managed loop.
